A group of devotees and attendees stands at the entrance of a temple with an ornate golden gabled carved pediment and red-brown pillars. In the centre, a man with long dark hair wears a dense orange-and-marigold garland, a brown-gold patterned top and an orange dhoti, and holds a silver trident. Beside him, a shaved-headed man in saffron robes and rudraksha beads stands with hands folded. Around them, women in red and orange saris, men in shirts and jeans, and a white-shirted man with a lanyard stand on stone paving. The appearance-based candidate's presentation with long hair, garland and trident is not sufficient to name him; he is described by role as a visiting devotee at the temple entrance.
